Ordered my Gristmill sewing cabinet

After much thought and research I went ahead and ordered my dream sewing cabinet for my Bernina 830LE from Gristmill. I went with the Quilters Delight III and did a lot of customizing on it. Jason is a dream to work with and I can't wait to set this baby up in my sewing room!! I looked at Horn, Koala and Unique but kept coming back to Gristmill. Just loved the look and the fact that I could change the design to my liking. He made the back and side wings larger, raised the whole cabinet by 3 1/2 inches so I can use the back wing as a standing cutting area when I am not quilting and is putting a shelf on the bottom for my feet to rest as I am vertically challenged!!!! He is also making the kneehole opening 5 inches wider so we can have the machine centered to the needle. I can't say enough about working with Jason and I am very confident I will be equally happy with the end product. Now the endless wait for delivery begins. ------ Quilter in MN Bernina 830LE

I have looked at their website and their designs are just wonderful. Did you get the electric lift for your 830? Do they deliver to you and set up? -- Edited on 2/27/13 8:49 AM -- ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

I was assured that the lift would easily handle the weight of my 830. I actually spoke with a woman who also had a cabinet made by Gristmill. She has an 830 as well and has had no trouble with the electric lift or vibration. That was my main concern. I didn't want the machine bouncing all over the place but I have been reassured that this will not happen. I only paid for curbside delivery. I was an additional $250 for them to carry it inside and I have a strong husband and even stronger 21 year old son to help me!! -- Edited on 2/27/13 9:32 AM -- ------ Quilter in MN Bernina 830LE

I don't have that brand but everything I've read and heard has been really, really good. I envy that electric lift. I wanted one for my desk but Uniques didn't offer one heavy enough for the 830 (at least when I bought mine). Fortunately, I don't use my embroidery arm enough that it bothers me to have to move the machine but I really love that feature.

Date: 2/27/13 8:44 PM I've been told it should be ready by mid to late April and I will definately post pictures when everything gets set up. I am going to take over one of our guest rooms upstairs. We have 2 guest rooms and very rarely use both at once!! I am tired of bumping my legs on my husbands weight equipment (we currently share a room). I can't wait to move out of his area and spread my stuff in a whole room!! ------ Quilter in MN Bernina 830LE
